They said they didn’t want to pick Boise State or Houston because it was too easy, but did say both belonged in the conversation. This was basically a list of “others.”

They picked BYU as an Honorable Mention. Problem is BYU can’t get the G5 slot.

Why can’t BYU get the slot?

They’re independent so they can’t get the G5 tie-in.

They can get an At-Large bid, which there are 5 of this year since the Cotton, Fiesta, and Peach Bowls are all not part of the playoff this year and have no conference tie-ins. So, if they, or a 2nd G5 team, can finish in the Top 9 this year, that team should get a NY6 slot.

this is what needs to happen, we are assumed new years bowl contender every year…
we need to make one every 2 to 3 years, along with and an aac team needs to make it every year…
this is when the power 6 discussion begins in ernest.
